Browning 2VP36X5/8 Sheave

For high-demand air handling and commercial HVAC applications, the Browning 2VP36X5/8 Sheave is a precision-engineered variable pitch sheave designed for reliable speed modulation. Constructed from high-grade cast iron, this two-groove mechanical component features a 3.35-inch outside diameter and a 5/8-inch finished bore with a standard keyway. It is specifically built to accommodate a broad range of belt profiles, including 3L, 4L, A, AX, 5L, B, and BX V-belts, making it a versatile choice for field service technicians and mechanical contractors.

The 2VP36X5/8 utilizes a threaded barrel and flange system that allows for an adjustable pitch range of 1.9 to 3.4 inches. By rotating the adjustable flanges, technicians can fine-tune the pitch diameter to achieve precise blower speeds and system balancing without replacing the entire drive. This dual-groove HVAC pulley ensures consistent performance under moderate to heavy loads, providing the mechanical advantage needed for centrifugal fans, pumps, and ventilators. The robust Browning VP series design helps maintain optimal belt tension and alignment during operation.

Key Benefits:

• Precision Speed Adjustment: Adjustable pitch range of 1.9" to 3.4" enables exact air balance and system performance tuning.
• Multi-Belt Compatibility: Engineered to work seamlessly with 3L, 4L (A/AX), and 5L (B/BX) section belts.
• Industrial Grade Materials: Heavy-duty cast iron construction provides superior wear resistance in demanding environments.
• Simplifies Drive Maintenance: Allows for immediate RPM changes at the motor shaft to compensate for airflow variations.
• Finished Bore Design: Includes a factory-machined 5/8" bore with setscrews for a secure, slip-free installation.

Common Questions:

Which belt sections are compatible with this sheave?
The 2VP36X5/8 is designed for use with 3L, 4L, A, AX, 5L, B, and BX belt sections.

How do I adjust the pitch diameter of this two-groove sheave?
To adjust the pitch, loosen the setscrews and rotate both movable flanges equally to ensure the belts ride at the same height in both grooves for even load distribution.

What is the maximum RPM for cast iron sheaves?
Standard cast iron sheaves should not exceed a rim speed of 6,500 feet per minute (FPM) to maintain structural integrity and safety.
